Atlantic wall, heavily fortified, did not keep allies out.
Current wall now needs military to string concertina wire across the top. Walls do not work. People once confronted will find a way over, under or around to get past it.
Where a wall has been constructed on our southern border the number of illegal crossings has been reduced by an average of 90%.

you are comparing illegal immigrants/poor people to organized hostile military assaults?
well, in that case then we need to send in the US Marines to guard our southern border.
According to Trump the wall is the thing. It will stop everything from germs to drugs from crossing.
So if the wall works so well, why does he need to keep the military there.
Because The Wall hasn't been built yet.

The Wall will virtually eliminate human sex trafficking, human trafficking (as indentured servants), gun-running and smuggling, drug-running and smuggling, illegal aliens, and many other undesirable things.
But, I don't know, maybe you desire those things.
It will also prevent a man-portable nuclear device from entering the US through Mexico.
Granted, man-portable nuclear devices are low yields, like about 1 kt, but myself personally, I wouldn't want to be in a city when a 1 kt nuclear device detonates.
But, maybe you would like to be. If you ever dreamed of flying in an out-of-body experience, that's your chance.
1) It doesn't address illegals within the country already or stop illegal immigration.
2) It doesn't punish employers that hire illegals.
3) A wall of this magnitude will have to be maintained, costing $$$$$$$$.
4) Introduces many environmental hazards for years...
5) We will regret it later when it becomes a symbol of discrimination.
6) Border crossings have been in decline the last 10 years... building a wall now seems obsolete.
Also, most homeowners are not fond of eminent domain.
